Purpose
The Strategy Brain Demand Type Positioning Framework defines how MWMS adapts positioning, messaging, and education based on the type of demand in the market.
Not all markets are the same.
Some customers:
- do not know the solution exists
- know the solution but not the approach
- already understand the category
Using the wrong positioning for the demand type leads to:
- confusion
- low engagement
- poor conversion
This framework ensures MWMS matches messaging to market awareness.
Core Principle
Positioning must match how aware the market is.
If the market is not ready:
→ the message will fail
Definition
Demand Type:
The level of awareness the customer has about the problem, solution, and category.
Role Within MWMS
This framework supports:
- Strategy Brain positioning
- Affiliate Brain offer selection
- Ads Brain messaging
- Conversion Brain page structure
- Creative Brain storytelling
- Sales Brain communication
It directly influences:
- clarity
- engagement
- conversion
- education requirements
Demand Types
MWMS operates across three primary demand types.
- New Concept
Definition
The customer does not know the solution exists.
Customer State
- unaware of solution
- possibly unaware of problem
- low context
Objective
Create awareness and educate.
Messaging Focus
- problem awareness
- market shift
- new possibility
- explanation
Required Approach
- high education
- simple language
- clear explanation
- build understanding
Risk
If messaging is too advanced:
→ customer becomes confused
- New Paradigm
Definition
The customer knows the category but not the new approach.
Customer State
- understands problem
- aware of existing solutions
- not aware of better method
Objective
Reframe thinking.
Messaging Focus
- why current approach is flawed
- why new approach is better
- comparison
- improvement
Required Approach
- contrast old vs new
- show inefficiency of current method
- introduce superior system
Risk
If contrast is weak:
→ customer stays with current solution
- Established Category
Definition
The customer understands the category and compares options.
Customer State
- aware of solutions
- comparing providers
- evaluating details
Objective
Differentiate and convert.
Messaging Focus
- benefits
- proof
- differentiation
- trust
Required Approach
- clear value proposition
- proof points
- competitive advantage
Risk
If differentiation is weak:
→ price becomes main factor
Demand Type Detection
Demand type must be inferred using:
- market research
- VOC data
- search behaviour
- competition analysis
- funnel performance
Matching Rule
Each demand type requires different messaging.
Incorrect matching leads to:
- confusion
- low engagement
- poor conversion
Education Rule
Education level must match demand type.
New Concept:
- high education
New Paradigm:
- moderate education
Established Category:
- low education
Three Why Integration
Demand type affects:
Why Buy Anything:
- stronger for new concept
Why Buy Now:
- stronger for new paradigm
Why Buy You:
- strongest for established category
Segmentation Integration
Different segments may fall into different demand types.
Example:
New users:
- new concept
Experienced users:
- established category
Channel Application
Ads
- adapt message based on demand type
Landing Pages
- structure content accordingly
Content
- education level varies
Sales
- adapt conversation
Offer Evaluation Rule
Offers must be evaluated for:
- demand type fit
- messaging requirement
- education burden
High education offers require more effort.
Testing Rule
Demand type positioning must be tested.
Test:
- educational messaging
- comparison messaging
- differentiation messaging

Failure Modes Prevented
- overcomplicated messaging
- under-explained solutions
- wrong positioning
- low conversion
- confused customers
Drift Protection
The system must prevent:
- assuming all markets are aware
- using advanced messaging too early
- ignoring education requirements
- failing to differentiate
- using generic messaging
Architectural Intent
This framework ensures MWMS adapts to:
→ market awareness
rather than forcing:
→ one-size messaging
It improves efficiency and clarity.
Final Rule
If the message does not match the market’s awareness:
→ it will not convert
